jackson is 5 weeks old now, and his sleeping patterns are getting worse, not better, he is not wanting to sleep at all during the day, he goes down for an hour at the most, and then wakes us grizzling, which turns to crying and can go to screaming. no matter what i do i cant pacify him, he is not a baby that is happy just to be awake, he is grizzly most of the time he is no matter what i do. have tried everything.
for example today he would have got max 4 hours sleep on and off, he was wanting to be fed every two hours which i just cannot do because he is on formula and would end up being gigantor! so at 5pm to settle him i gave him a bath and then his bottle, and he has been asleep until now - almost 1am, so 8 hours since feed. should i be waking him for a bottle or letting him go, is this him starting to work out to sleep through the night?
what do i do about getting him to sleep in the daytime? i wouldnt mind if he was awake in the daytime if he wasnt crying the whole time, i cant physically try to pacify him for the whole day, it is sending me round the bend. he is just such a fussy demanding baby, i think he may have colic, we have tried all the usual reccomended relievers for it, but doesnt seem to help.
